Walk Areas
Piers 

The
road layout includes 15 streets, 4 boulevards, 2 avenues y 2 pedestrian promenades.
These promenades were built on what it used to be the old train street between
the warehouses and the Docks, where the stuffing-unstuffy of the vessels used
to take place. The installations have kept the port style that is the main
feature of the area. This can be noticed in the recovered materials and equipment,
such as the stone paving, the logs wood and the typical cranes. The handrails,
street lamps and benches also keep the same style

famous Catalonian Eng. Santiago Calatrava. It has three sections, two fixed
parts, 25 and 33 m long, and another moving, 102 m long. This central part is

inauguration for its public use took place in December 2001. Features: Length:
